The Egyptian government is sparing no efforts to protect and preserve its share in the Nile River and to confront any phenomena that negatively affect it. In this context, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi threatened Sept. 27 to deploy the army to protect the Nile from any illegal encroachments.
During the inauguration of the Bahr al-Baqar water station in the Sinai Peninsula, Sisi warned the violations against the Nile River have reached an unprecedented stage. He denounced them as not befitting a country the size of Egypt.
